Screenwriting : Competition, Film Fund or Fellowship? by Vasco Saraiva

Competition, Film Fund or Fellowship?

So I have a script ready to send it out there. I'm looking at this platform that has writing competition, Film Fund and a Fellowship. Honestly, I would like to send to all three of them. Is there some guidelines I'm missing? Should I send to all 3? ... Does not fell to correct... any advise or clarification would be nice.

For competitions stay with the Nicol, Austin Film Festival and Sundance.

Filmfreeway.com is a site that lets you lodge with most competitions. The Nicol is part of the academy, so go direct to them.

ScreenCraft and the Page Awards are two others

I'd ask folks who have done whatever competition you are submitting. Ask them questions.

Nicholls, Warner Bros TV fellowships, Sundance Lab have a track record. Imagine Ent seems to be the new hot fellowship, $40,000 for 12-weeks of your time.

Hey guys, thank you all for the replies. I'm sorry, my question wasn't clear enough. My point was, is there some extra credentials you need for the fellowships. For example do you need to have won a competition to get a fellowship? because they do look more appealing than a standart contest...

Vasco Saraiva

Dan MaxXx That's a great idea, I'll try and track some people down. Thanks.

You don't need to have won a competition in order to enter a fellowship, however you should read the T&Cs and FAQs of each fellowship/competition you plan to enter just to make sure you're eligible.
